Celtic play Zenit St Petersburg on Thursday night in the Europa League and Russia website sportsdaily have an interesting description of the central midfielder.

They say: "Players such as Brown do not go to hairdressers, expensive clubs and don't take a few selfies per day. He would rather sit in a bar with fans for a pint and discuss the game and Hibernian with them."

The article continues: "He has shortcomings – awkward technique and lack of speed. But honesty comes first for Scottish football fans."

But they do praise the 32-year-old as a player you don't see often in modern football, someone who gets stuck in and does the dirty work for his team.

The article also describes him as a player who will tell his team-mates, his coach and journalists exactly what he thinks.

That's a fair description of him.

The Russian media outlet also profiled Moussa Dembele, a player they rate. They say of the France Under-21 striker: "Dembele is Celtic’s most valuable asset. Do not ignore the Frenchman.

Dembele again and again falls into the number of the most talented young players in the world.

"No one has any doubts another club will take him away in the summer. And the club will earn a lot on this transfer."
